Del’s Claim

No one believed the old ouster Del when he staggered into Vulkhel Guard and claimed he’d found a huge deposit of lapis lazuli in the hills, but it turned out to be true, and now Del’s Claim is one of the most profitable mines on Auridon.

Del’s Claim Location

Polinus

Polinus is a High Elf Veiled Heritance soldier. He is the head of the operational base at Del’s Claim. His attacks are melee using a battle axe. Ranged attacks work well or you can roll dodge away from his swings.

Entila’s Folly

Kinlady Entila of Clan Auralus had a vivid dream that beneath the coastal cliffs near Skywatch was a fabulous fist-sized gem, the Egg of the World. Based on the directions in her vision, she hired a score of miners to dig until they found it. The funds of Clan Auralus ran out first.

Entila’s Folly Location

Entila’s Folly is located in central Auridon nearest to the Mathiisen Wayshrine. While there is no specific quest in this delve, there is still much to explore. Entila’s Folly is an abandoned mine overrun with spiders and inhabited by a Khajiit mage.

It is infested with spiders, lots of webs, and a Khajiit mage with a spider obsession.

Bakhig

Bakhig is a Khajiit mage with a spider obsession. He attacks with both magical attacks and a sword summoning spiders and a Aura of Protection totem. Destroy the totem as quickly as possible and the spiders. The spiders do little damage, although they do poison you, but they can quickly overwhelm you.

Mehrunes’ Spite

Before the followers of the Prophet Veloth left Summerset for Morrowind, they built several secret shrines for illicit worship of the Daedric Princes. It is believed that after the Chimer left Summerset, all of these heretical shrines were found and destroyed.

Mati

Mati is a Dremora shaman. Her attacks are magical and she summons an Aura of Protection totem, peasants, and banekins to aid her. Defeat the totem first, the adds, and then she is easily defeated.

Ondil

Now ruined, the subterranean halls of Ondil were built in the early First Era to house Kinlady Fiorallelle’s extensive collection of ceramic figurines. It was abandoned before completion when its alignment with the constellation of the Atronach was found to be seven percent off true.

Ondil Location

Ondil is an area located in ruins with lots of books. While there is no specific quest in this delve, there is still much to explore.

Be sure to take the time to ‘read’ the bookshelves. You can gain not only lore books but other valuable information.

Aluvus

Aluvus is a Maormeri vampire that can be found in the northeastern area of the delve. He attacks with a greatsword using melee attacks and generates a large aoe. The fight is straightforward. Ranged attacks work well as they will keep you out of melee danger. Avoid the aoes whenever possible.

Wansalen

Legend has it that the excavation of Wansalen was halted, and the halls abandoned, when the Elven miners roused and angered an ancient rock-spirit called a Gheatus. But the wise Sapiarchs of the Crystal Tower dismiss this story as a fable with no truth to it.

Wansalen Location

Wansalen is located in northeast Auridon. It can be accessed by either the College Wayshrine or the Quendeluun Wayshrine. While there is no specific quest for Wansalen, there is still much to explore.

Wansalen is an Aldmeri ruin in the northeastern region of Auridon containing undead. Wansalen has one level, one boss, and one skyshard as notated on the map.

Inside Wansalen

Nolonir

Nolonir is a High Elf Necromancer who attacks with a mace and magical attacks. He also summons ghosts and flesh atronachs. Defeat the adds first, then concentrate on Nolonir.

What Is A Public Dungeon?

Public dungeons are a type of dungeon that is non-instanced. This means that it can be accessed by anyone at any time. These dungeons are more difficult than delves. Public Dungeons contain at least one skyshard and often a group challenge that rewards a skill point. Each public dungeon also offers its own quests and achievements.

Toothmaul Gully Public Dungeon

Goblins are native to the Summerset Isles, and were here when the Elves first arrived from Old Aldmeris. The Altmer enslaved the native Goblins to perform their manual labor, but never quite eradicated the free tribes in the wild.

Toothmaul Gully Location

Toothmaul Gully is a cave located in central Auridon southwest of the town of Mathiisen. The cave is primarily inhabited by goblins but their peaceful existence has recently been disturbed by the Veiled Heritance whom they see as intruders.

Toothmaul Gully is located in towards the coastline of southwestern and central Auridon. The closest wayshrine to Toothmaul is the Tanzelwil Wayshrine. From there, travel slightly southwest.

Toothmaul Gully Quests

Completing The Toothmaul Ploy

After investigating the goblins and retrieving the evidence, you will once again talk to Pirondil. You will be rewarded with gold.

Toothmaul Gully Bosses

Toothmaul Gully has 6 bosses and one skyshard as notated on the map. To complete the dungeon, you will need to complete the quests and defeat all 6 bosses. The final boss can easily be overlooked.

Nitch

As you enter into Toothmaul Gully, you will come to a crossroad area where you can take any direction. If you head to the right, you’ll first encounter Nitch. He is an imp and can be missed as he hides in a little nook. Imps are small, winged humanoids who attack with an element spell such as a fire ball, a snowball, or even a spark.

Mechanics

Nitch attacks with fireballs and can be easily defeated. Roll dodge out of the way. There are other imps and enemies in the area that can, if you move too much, be incited enough to join the battle.

Trek Elf-Stabber & Black Bessie

Thek Elf-Stabber is a hostile goblin. Goblins are short humanoid creates that typically live in tribes in or near caves and mines. Thek is joined by Black Bessie, a durzog. Durzogs are hostile reptillian creature that are four-legged, dark green, and resemble dogs. They usually have spings along their backs, red eyes, and long teeth.

Mechanics

Thek uses melee attacks with a sword. His cleave can stun you if you take a direct hit, which makes you easy prey for Black Bessie’s bites. A totem also appears creating a very large aoe. If you have a ranged attack, this will probably work well but Thek can be easily led out of the aoe for melee damage.

Togga The Skewerer

Togga The Skewerer is also a goblin similar to Thek Elf-Stabber. You will find him kneeling in a fence opening.

Mechanics

Togga uses a ranged attack with a bow. Additionally, he will use a horn to summon spiders which creates poison aoe areas. Focusing on the spiders first will help reduce the aoe and make Togga an easier target.

Dzeizik

Dzeizik is considered a goblin champion. While he is located by himself, there are other nearby enemies that can join the battle.

Mechanics

Dzeizik appears heavily armored and uses a melee attack. He will also charge at you. If you have other nearby enemies involved, deal with them first, then turn your focus on Dzeizik.

Gorg & Slakkith

Gorg and Slakkith are a pair of Durzogs much like Black Bessie.

Mechanics

Gorg and Slakkith have nasty bites which can be tricky to avoid since there are two of them. There are so nearby enemies that can join the battle. Focus on the additional enemies, then turn your attention to the durzogs.

Bloodroot and Its Guardians

Bloodroot can often be missed. Bloodroot is located very near to Togga the Skewerer but is dormant. Bloodroot does not actually appear until you defeat all the Spriggan Guardians. A spriggan is a tree spirit that resembles women. They are hostile and difficult to kill due to their ability to self-heal and summon allies.

Mechanics

There are several groups of three Bloodroot Guardians that must be destroyed before Bloodroot will appear. The Guardians are spriggans and will self-heal. If you see them channeling (a beam going to an ally), then bash to interrupt.

Bloodroot is a strangler. Stranglers are plantlike carnivorous creatures who are rooted to the ground and shoot a root tether that pulls you back to them. This is used primarily if you are ranged. Melee attacks will work well as it helps to prevent you from being ‘strangled’. Once the strangler has you tethered, it will drain your blood dealing damage over time. If you bash, you may be able to interrupt the strangler allowing you to break free.

What Is A Group Dungeon?

Group Dungeons are designed to be four-player areas. Dungeons in ESO feature large groups of enemies that are tougher to defeat and have multiple bosses. These bosses pose unique challenges and often feature special mechanics that require teamwork. Each dungeon has a quest with a skill point rewarded for its completion. Dungeons also offer special gear sets that cannot be found in the overland areas of Tamriel. Dungeons can be completed in normal mode, veteran mode, or veteran hardmode. Dungeons completed in any of the veteran modes will reward you with a Monster Helm – a unique piece of armor for the head. You can learn more about Monster sets in the Monster Set Guide and how to obtain the matching shoulder piece in the Undaunted Guide. You can also find a video and a written guide for each dungeon in the All About Mechanics Series.

What Is A World Boss?

World bosses are powerful enemies often with their own unique abilities. They sometimes require groups of players to overcome. World bosses in DLC zones are significantly harder than other base game bosses.

What Is A Wayshrine?

Wayshrines are shrines that were built to honor the Divines by being a safe haven point where players can revive if you die while adventuring in Tamriel. Once you visit a wayshrine, it becomes available on your map for you to use to fast travel at no cost. You can also travel to any unlocked wayshrine from anywhere in Tamriel for a price paid in gold. This price reduces with time and also can be reduced by champion point allocations. Each zone begins with one available wayshrine.

What Is A Mundus Stone?

Mundus Stones are large, stone pillars that can be activated which creates a unique permanent player buff. Each player can choose any Mundus Stone but only one Mundus ‘blessing’ (also known as ‘boon’) is permitted at a time. For more information, check out this article.

What Is A Skyshard?

Skyshards are glowing crystals that provide you with 1/3 of a skill point. Collecting 3 skyshards grants you 1 skill point which can then be used for abilities and/or passives. High Isle and Amenos offers 18 total skyshards.

What Is A World Event?

World Events, also commonly called Dark Anchors or Dolmens, are huge hooks sent by Molag Bal. They hook into the ground with giant chains. Dark Anchors spawn daedric and undead guardians. As you defeat the enemies, anchor pinions will appear around the dolmen and need to be released. After all the pinions are released, a final wave of enemies (usually featuring a few smaller enemies and one larger mini-boss) appear. Once the final wave is defeated one final anchor pinion will appear and releasing it will cause a treasure chest to appear. This chest contains gold and other loot but also contains a jewelry piece from the area.

What Is A Lore Book?

Shalidor’s Library is a collection of lore books in Tamriel. Reading lore books within this collection increases your Mages Guild rank.

What Is A Survey Map?

Survey Maps (also called Survey Reports) are maps to a collection of six high-yield harvest nodes that only exist if you have the corresponding survey. Some maps can be sold, some are character bound, and others only allow you to maintain one in your inventory. If you have multiples of the same map, the nodes do respawn but you must go a short distance away for it to do so. If you go away and the nodes do not respawn, then you haven’t traveled far enough.

Survey Map locations do NOT appear on your map. You can slot the maps for quick access to compare your location. The following icons will be used to denote the type of survey on this map.

What Is A Treasure Map?

Treasure Maps are rewards that show the location of special chests that can only be seen when you have the map in your inventory. You must travel to the specific location, dig the dirt mound, and then a chest will appear for you.

Treasure Map locations do NOT appear on your map. You can slot the maps for quick access to compare your location.
